On Our Selection

A little Australian classic of bush humour. Written by Rudd as recollections of his family's life on their selection in the Darling Downs in the late 19th century.
After allowing for the comic exaggerations of the hardships, there is still an echo of the physical and financial hardships faced by new settlers converting virgin bush into agricultural land with little or no capital.

Brilliant! Real life hardships mixed with classic Australian humour.
